Hello List!

I found and adapted a Windows registry hack to permit opening Bash
prompts in any folder in Explorer by right-clicking on the folder and
selecting the "Open with Cygwin Shell (bash)" menu entry.

It works fine, but for some strange reason, whenever a folder is
selected that has a long-name (ie. not 8.3 DOS standard), the bash
prompt displays the short filename version of the path.

Is there a way to get it to display the long version?

Here is the .REG file in case anyone else would like to give this a try.

TIA, J
